Walk the talk

You might remember me wearing my Faguo shoes in previous posts such as this one or even worn by Candice here (whom you have got to know throughout the summer). I thought I would wait until after meeting the creators behind this 'responsible' shoe before talking about it and what it represents. First thing you need to know it is not just a shoe, and in todays world were we all seem infatuated by multifunctional object, it seems quite normal that our shoe snow have multiple purposes. Let me explain myself.

Nicolas and Frédéric, the two French creators and designers behing the Faguos, created about a year ago this little pump and added the extra value to it by making sure this shoe was 'responsible'. Since the start they have tracked and calculated the amount of emissions the production of each shoe creates as they are conscious that "Faguo's activity has a direct impact on the global warming". Thus, their goal is to decrease these carbon emissions as much as possible, thus creating a smaller carbon footprint. More so, with every pair of shoes brought somewhere in France a tree is planted in turn "they will constitute a stock of carbon taking part in the fight against global warming". So for every shoe sold = a tree is planted = doing something good for our planet. It's not much, but sure is a start and at least ou can say you did something and you did it fashionably. Indeed, even though they have clearly spent a lot of time researching the impact on the environment of producing these shoes, they have also spent as much time thinking about the clean and simple yet well thought out design of the shoe.

Thanks to Nicolas and Frédéric for taking the time to share their passion, creations and knowledge with me!

The small coconut button on the side represents their promise of being a responsible yet fashionable shoe.

This is the limited edition shoe created for the event at the Bozar shop in Brussels. Then only made 120 of them so if you want a pair you better be quick, they are also available online which is never a bad thing :)

That is a wrap

I haven't had the time to post many outfit posts lately so I thought I would share a few pictures from one night last week and combine it with a small trend that seems to be popping up everywhere; Autumn draping. I decide to this as when the three of us got together I seemed to be the only not draped from head to toe. Now all the dresses I seem to be attracted to for autumn seem to be draped in one way or the other.

//WEARING// Jeans: H&M super squin (new obsession right now) Black transparent shirt: H&M Black top: Zara

Here are a few bloggers sported wearing the wrapped and draped  trend to perfection. Funnily enough in the first collage, all of their dresses and skirts come from stylestalker something that I had not calculated but I do have to admit they have some amazing wrapped dresses and skirts. I especially have a huge crush on this particular dress.

I say I do

Fantastic! Now this is one collaboration I will look forward to and I (for the first time) might just stand in a queu and battle my way around the rest of the fashion lovers to get my hands on a piece of lanvin. Then again, I wil have to wait and see if anything from this collection catches my eye. What do you guys think about this collaboration?
